Thanks to Andy Yonelinas, ⁦bbuchsbaum⁩ ⁦Dr. Peggy L. St. Jacques⁩ and ⁦Wilma Bainbridge⁩ for a fun symposium. The verdict is in: subjectivity matters! #CNS2024

My first project as a postdoc at The University of Chicago is now available as a preprint with Julia Pruin, Wilma Bainbridge , Monica Rosenberg, and Megan deBettencourt! We tracked participants’ attention in real time, strategically inserting memorable or forgettable images. 1/4 osf.io/preprints/psya…

Paper & code now up: Object-based attention elicits boundary contraction in memory! We explore the phenomenon of boundary extension in which people remember more of a scene than what was originally depicted… (1/6) paper: rdcu.be/dHWZk code: github.com/ehhall/object-…

Just participated in the ART OF MEMORY Wilma Bainbridge exhibition and memory test at #VSS2024 - really cool. Hope I'll be able to know how my memory is (Wilma - any chance?). Highly recommended ! open to all #WomenInSTEM #womeninscience #memory

Can you recall if the Monopoly Man has a monocle? If you said yes, you're wrong—but why? It's part of a scientific phenomenon known as the "Mandela effect." On Big Brains Podcast, learn more from UChicago psychologist Wilma Bainbridge. ms.spr.ly/6017YvSNN

Basic research on our imperfect visual memories is bringing to light how and why we may misremember what we have seen. Deepa Prasad Wilma Bainbridge Nicole C Rust, PhD Barnes Jannuzi Chaz Firestone Alon Hafri psychologicalscience.org/publications/o…

Our new article with Wilma Bainbridge and @[email protected] is out in Memory and Cognition. We studied whether artistic students differ in visual memory from the general pool of students. We used both recognition, digit span and drawings! 1/2 link.springer.com/article/10.375…

New preprint out-- memorable images cause more engagement on social media!

You will probably remember this post. How do I know? Come find out at our #SfN24 talk on Wednesday morning, as part of the NANO54 session! I will be outlining which visual features of symbols are highly memorable, and how they can be accentuated using AI image generators.

Very fun times Princeton University Music-Evoked Imaginings Workshop this week thanks to Elizabeth Margulis + Kelly Jakubowski Roger Beaty Kalina Christoff Cara Turnbull Wilma Bainbridge and many more

This bias towards initial frames seems to be consistent with the idea that memorability signals arise in the brain even earlier than memory encoding processes (see work from Wilma Bainbridge's lab for example: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). 13/15

Very excited to collaborate with Ann-Sophie Barwich on smemory, and honored to receive this award!!

Just by changing subtle data-derived visual features, we can cause big changes in your memory for symbols and their associated concepts!

The University of Chicago MA Program in the Social Sciences (MAPSS) is hiring two full-time instructional faculty in psychology! App deadline is 3/1 and check out apply.interfolio.com/160271 and apply.interfolio.com/160275 for more info.

We are currently seeking nominations for a new Editor-in-Chief at Psychonomic Society journal, AP&P, whether it be you or a colleague you'd like to nominate! For details, see our announcement at psychonomic.org/page/2025apped…

New paper out in Nature Human Behaviour! In it, Wilma Bainbridge and I find that participants tend to remember and forget the same speakers' voices, regardless of speech content. We also predict the memorability of voices from their low-level features: nature.com/articles/s4156…

1/ Are illusory faces remembered more or less than human faces? Very excited about our new preprint osf.io/preprints/psya… finding that illusory faces are remembered more than faces ...
